An updated discussion list was delivered with existing gaps and new gaps identified. Took lead position over the execution of a detailed engineering SRR and flare study for an ExxonMobil Polymers production facility in Louisiana, and provided technical assistance and QC for engineers executing the project. Reviewed the scope provided by the client and was able to reduce the amount of work 50% by the removal of several pieces of non-code equipment and maintained a deliverable quality that is greater than 95%. Completed an SRR during detailed engineering for a major ExxonMobil project on the Texas gulf coast. Worked with client to close all gaps identified in the previous stage of the project and ensured that all new gaps were closed before project completion. Completed relief studies for detailed engineering for the Marathon Robinson refinery and provided QC for contractor pressure relief evaluators. The project had an accelerated schedule with some unforeseen scope creep and was still completed on time. Completed full revalidations for operating units at the Chevron Richman refinery and assisted in QC for less senior engineers on the project. The project had a large scope encompassing the entire plant, which was completed within the agreed 2 year schedule. Lead position over all Siemens Relief Systems Team (RST) activities, 24/7 and Capitol Projects at the Marathon Galveston Bay Refinery.

Ferndale, Michigan, United States

Involved in analyzing and correcting first pass yield problems caused by several possible factors in production. Addressed process oriented customer complaints and corrected them before allowing closure on each complaint. Improved a filtration process by specifying a different primary filter media. This reduced secondary filter costs by 82 percent and cycle times by 20 percent. Developed an in-depth SOP to correct an in-house contaminant problem. Correction resulted in 75 percent process improvement, as contaminated batches had to be discarded or re-worked. Collaborated with research and development to successfully improve a dry mix metal cleaner which was hardening. Solved the problem by changing the order in which raw materials were added.Technical Engineer 1998-2000Prepared bill of materials and procured capital and facilities equipment for engineering and maintenance projects. Coordinated and set up time lines for jobs that required contract work. Did hands on work for small jobs that arose on the floor. Trouble Shoot problems that occurred in some of the process equipment. Sized several pieces of equipment used in new processes. Wrote SOP’s for new production equipment. Coordinated the installation of a caustic silo bin vent, which entailed the use of electrical and structural steel contractors. The vent increased the speed, in which the silo is loaded, by 80 percent. Coordinated the replacement of Phos process tank with a larger previously purchased tank, which increased batch sizes by 50 percent. Sized control valves and regulators, which were used to deliver steam or cooling water on demand to jacketed process tanks.

Detroit, Michigan, United States

Directly involved in completing or resolving HAZOP action items, and updating P&ID’s and Process Flow Diagrams. Completed the (over 100) maximum intended inventories on crude and alkyl units.
